Course Description:
General Goals and Objectives:
The course will present the sacraments of the Christian Vocation, namely, the Sacraments of Order and Marriage. Each sacrament will be approached from the biblical, historical and theological perspectives. The perception and foundation of each sacrament in the biblical communities will be explored. In the Christian era the historical development of each sacrament will be outlined and the official Catholic doctrine on each of these sacraments will be presented. Guidelines for preparing the baptised faithful to receive either of these sacraments will be investigated. Broader issues concerning ministry in the Church, service, friendship, fidelity, and the responsibilities of the recipients will be discussed. As well as providing the sacramental theology in relation to these sacraments, the course will focus on the ways that the recipients serve the community in living the grace of these sacraments.

Academic Policy Issues
Examination regulations will follow the School of Theology's updated Directory on Exams.
Continual lateness for lectures will not be tolerated
Apart from the first lecture in the morning, no student will be allowed into the class after ten minutes All mobile phones should be turned off during lectures ..... therefore no texting nor SMSing is allowed No one should stand up and walk out of class except in cases of illness or emergency

A student should notify the lecturer of any absence and, if necessary, should provide a letter from the student or the student's superior explaining the reason for the absence.
Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and Penalties Policies
Plagiarism is stealing; it is the theft or expropriation of all or part of someone else's work without proper acknowledgement, presenting the material as it if were one's own.
Plagiarism normally occurs
• when a student lifts verbatim written material from books and articles (either from published material or from the Internet) without acknowledging their source or
• when passages from books and articles are re-written without any acknowledgement of the source or
• when a student submits work which is a re-written version of someone else's work. Plagiarism in assignments and examinations is a serious breach of ethics and will be punished.
Cheating is using false pretences, tricks, devices, artifices or deception to obtain credit on an examination or in a college course. If a faculty member determines that a student has committed academic dishonesty by plagiarism, cheating or in any other manner, the faculty has the academic right to 1) fail the student for the paper, assignment, project and/or exam, and/or 2) fail the student for the course and/or 3) bring the student up on disciplinary charges.

Academic Policy Issues
Examination regulations will follow the School of Theology's updated Directory on Exams.
Continual lateness for lectures will not be tolerated
Apart from the first lecture in the morning, no student will be allowed into the class after ten minutes All mobile phones should be turned off during lectures ..... therefore no texting nor SMSing is allowed No one should stand up and walk out of class except in cases of illness or emergency
Any student who misses more than four class contact hours in a two credit course will not be allowed to sit the final exam and will receive no credits.
A student should notify the lecturer of any absence and, if necessary, should provide a letter from the student or the student's superior explaining the reason for the absence.
Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and Penalties Policies
Plagiarism is stealing; it is the theft or expropriation of all or part of someone else's work without proper acknowledgement, presenting the material as it if were one's own.
Plagiarism normally occurs
• when a student lifts verbatim written material from books and articles (either from published material or from the Internet) without acknowledging their source or
• when passages from books and articles are re-written without any acknowledgement of the source or
• when a student submits work which is a re-written version of someone else's work. Plagiarism in assignments and examinations is a serious breach of ethics and will be punished.
Cheating is using false pretences, tricks, devices, artifices or deception to obtain credit on an examination or in a college course. If a faculty member determines that a student has committed academic dishonesty by plagiarism, cheating or in any other manner, the faculty has the academic right to 1) fail the student for the paper, assignment, project and/or exam, and/or 2) fail the student for the course and/or 3) bring the student up on disciplinary charges.
